Open letter from Dr. Patrick Moore to British Columbia Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon
 
British Columbia Liberal leader Kevin Falcon has chosen cancel culture over free speech. Falcon recently removed British Columbia MLA John Rustad from caucus after Rustad retweeted messages from CO2 Coalition board member Dr. Patrick Moore. An open letter from Dr. Patrick Moore to Kevin Falcon in response to these actions follows:

Dear Kevin,

Is it not in the tradition of “liberalism” to support free speech and a healthy exchange of ideas and facts? Your firing of MLA John Rustad for re-Tweeting a Tweet of mine will go down as a huge error in judgement. There is no actual proof or even evidence that there is a “climate emergency”. But it is absolutely certain than CO2 is the basis for all life, as all life is carbon-based, and all the carbon in life comes from CO2. And there is absolutely no hard evidence that CO2 is now, or has ever been, a primary driver of global temperature, never mind the entire climate which includes a lot more than temperature.

Charlie Smith in the Georgia Strait refers to “Moore’s claim that there has been no net warming in Australia in 10 years and that the Great Barrier Reef has more coral cover this year than ever recorded.”

As if I conjured this up myself. In fact, both these reports were from credible primary sources and I cited them in the Tweet. The source for the fact that Australia has not warmed during the past 10 years comes from the highly respected UAH satellite record. See below:

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
